Origin of $600K Payment to Smirnov Prior to Spreading Kremlin's Biden Lie Linked To Trump Associates [1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-03-14 Admin correction: A previous version of this story incorrectly described a longtime Trump associate as the former chairman of Economic Transformation Technologies. From The Guardian today: US firm that paid indicted FBI informant tied to Trump associates, records reveal: The Guardian reported that business filings and court documents show Smirnov, who has been accused of lying to investigators about the president and his son Hunter Biden, was paid $600,000 in 2020 by a company called Economic Transformation Technologies (ETT), and the indictment shows that same year he started lying to the FBI about the Bidens. So - here’s a fun little fact about “Economic Transformation Technologies”: ETT, a company who’s true function is “murky”, “...is run by three men who have partnered with Trump for a decade. Call me crazy, but this, um... seems as if it should be investigated further. I suggest reading the full Guardian article, as there are a lot of very shady elements here; as I’m pressed for time at the moment, I just thought the story should be shared.
